How to prevent high blood pressure during pregnancy

 Hypertension in pregnancy is a vascular disease caused by pregnancy. The blood pressure of the mother-to-be was normal before pregnancy, and when hypertension was found after 20 weeks of pregnancy, it was diagnosed as pregnancy-induced hypertension.

Among the various complications of pregnancy, pregnancy-induced hypertension is particularly harmful to pregnant mothers. People at high risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension 1. High blood pressure at the first visit. Women of childbearing age with high blood pressure should pay attention to it. Although it is within the normal range, if the blood pressure reaches 130-139mmhg at the first visit, there is a high risk. 2. First-time pregnancy data show that 2% of pregnant women will suffer from pregnancy-induced hypertension, and most of them are pregnant for the first time. 3. Those with high blood cell volume ratio The blood cell volume ratio is a value indicating the blood concentration. The blood volume will increase during pregnancy, making the blood thinner, so the value will be lower than usual. In this case, those whose blood cell volume ratio is still high should pay attention. 4. Those who weigh more than 60 kg are more likely to suffer from pregnancy-induced hypertension. Data shows that although height also has a certain effect, the risk will increase when the weight exceeds 60 kg. 5. Those who are pregnant with twins (multiple births) If you are pregnant with twins or multiple births, the physical burden of the pregnant mother will be particularly high and the risk is also higher. 6. Patients with long-term diseases. Patients with diseases such as thyroid and chronic nephritis, or patients with long-term diseases such as diabetes, pregnancy greatly increase the burden on the body and easily lead to pregnancy-induced hypertension. Prevention of pregnancy-induced hypertension 1. Exercise Appropriate exercise can prevent illness. Choose some exercises suitable for pregnancy, such as yoga during pregnancy. 2. Work fatigue will increase blood pressure. So during pregnancy, you should not force yourself too much, try to reduce your working hours, and don't be too tired. 3. Travel Walking, shopping and shopping, etc. will not have much impact on blood pressure. However, travel should be avoided as much as possible, and it is best not to travel short distances. Pregnant mothers who are at risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension should strictly comply with it. 4. Bathing. Blood pressure will drop during showering. Pay attention to the water temperature. After showering, you should quickly wipe it dry to keep warm. Take care to avoid catching cold after showering. Because catching cold will increase blood pressure. 5. Eat less salt. Salt is a necessary substance for the body, but excessive intake will cause more water to flow into the blood vessels, increase blood volume, and increase blood pressure. Therefore, you should pay special attention to salt intake in your diet during pregnancy. 6. Check your blood pressure regularly. After pregnancy, keep a sphygmomanometer at home and get up early every day to take it. If the blood pressure rises suddenly, it is best to go to the hospital to consult a doctor in time.
